So, my boys have banished me to my scrapbook room for the afternoon. I think they’re making me a lego creation for my birthday! LOL. And so here I am.
Thanks for the Project Life love too. Hopefully some of you will enjoy my contributions (the comments on Becky’s blog are sitting a little weird with me but I’m hoping people will benefit from all the sharing).
Other than that I wanted to share a tutorial I have up over at October Afternoon today. It’s on creating a pie chart. I’ve had it on my to do list for a little while, but I never knew what kind of layout would call for one! But I found one and I’m happy with how it turned out.
If you want to see my process just head on over to the October Afternoon blog.

So, now I’m going to make the most of my time being exiled to crafty solitude. Let’s hoping I’m productive before they pull me out! :)

caroline hancock - fabulous layouts, i love it. I have wanted to do a pie chart since April did one but i too have yet to find the layout for it
Melissa Stinson - Isn’t it kind of interesting the kinds of things that people will just blurt out in blog comments? You have to wonder if they even think about what it will sound like to people reading on the other side!
Just wanted to send a big congrats for making the PL creative team! I actually discovered and started following your blog because of your stunning Project Life pages, and your writeup on your process was very helpful (and instrumental) in getting me to finally pick mine up again next week. Thank you!
